I think we yum and rpm, it happens in the middle of the transaction as
part of %post for the package in question.

(Also, you might want to use the term 'condrestart' (conditionally
restart) because with 'condrestart' things only get restarted if they're
are running already. Cuz, at least for rpm and/or RH/Fedora, 'restart'
also means 'start' if it's not running already. And you really want to
avoid that when operating on a chroot.)
